Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Merriam Press Military Monograph Series Fifth Edition 2012 Comprehensive details of the appearance of Estonian troops during the end of that nation's period of independence prior to World War II, continuing through the occupations of World War II. Provides extensive and detailed coverage of the variety of uniforms, rank insignia, badges, headgear, belts, swords, and other accouterments of the Estonian Army (including cavalry) during this period. Also included is much data on the rank structure, in Estonian with (approximate) equivalents in English. Most of the more than 150 drawings and illustrations are the work of noted militaria artist Ted Koppel; all have been executed to his usual high standards and are the major feature of this important work. Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Uniforms and Rank Insignia Chapter 2: Collar Badges Chapter 3: The Cavalry and Miscellaneous Details Chapter 4: The 1939/1940 Rank Changes Chapter 5: The Estonian Army Organization in 1939 Appendix 1: The 1939/1940 Rank Changes Appendix 2: The Estonian Army Organization in 1939 Addendum Sources 21 photos 142 drawings; 14 illustrations The Authors: Fred Limberg was born in the Vorumaa district in southeast Estonia in 1910, later being engaged in the legal profession during the period of Independence. Emigrated to the U.S. in 1949. Interest in Estonian military history led to extensive research resulting in some articles and finally a reference book in 1980, Isamaa Eest ("For the Fatherland"). A second book on the Estonian armed forces was in preparation for many years and may some day be published by another publisher. Resided in Minneapolis, Minnesota, until his death. Ted Koppel was born in Tallinn, Estonia, in 1940 during the Soviet occupation. Escaped to Germany with his mother in 1944 and came to the U.S. in 1950. Served with a U.S. Army Advisory Team in Vietnam in the mid-1960s. Later worked as a freelance illustrator and in graphics production. Amateur military historian and collector, with articles and/or artwork appearing in over half a dozen enthusiasts' publications. Ted now resides in Maryland. Most of the drawings in this work are the result of examination of actual photos of Estonian soldiers. Some published works were consulted, which were not always accurate. Fred Limberg served in the Estonian Army and thus had personal knowledge of the topic, and spent most of his life researching and writing on the subject. He had written a massive work on the subject which was supposed to be published some years ago by a small British company, but as far as I and Ted Koppel, the other author of this work know, it has never been published. Fred did publish a massive Estonian language work on the subject which I understand can be difficult to find nowadays. Fred and Ted's work was originally published in 1984, before the fall of the Soviet Union and thus they had virtually no access to any potential resources in Estonia. The authors spent many years researching the subject, with a lot of input from exiled Estonians around the world who had served in the Estonian Army. A more comprehensive work on the subject could probably be done now that archives and other sources that were previously difficult or impossible to gain access to are more accessible to Western authors.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Ferris' Bluff.the exciting debut thriller from Fred Limberg. Ace is on the run from everyone! The feds want him back in the Witness Protection Program. An international collection of gangsters and arms-merchants he pissed off working undercover are still looking for him. And worst of all-his own scarred self-image and terrifying nightmares haunt him almost every damn day. After two lonely years on the road he risks a short visit with his old friend, Granville Tubbs, who lives in the sleepy small town of Ferris' Bluff, Arkansas-a town named for a hundred and fifty year old con. Ace hasn't even had a tingle that anyone has been on his trail for almost a year. What could go wrong in a few days? One big honkin' hell of a lot, it turns out! A wary suspicious loner, Ace is soon brought under the spell of the quirky small town and its residents. It seems like almost everybody wants to be his friend. Some of the folks are funny down-home characters you just want to hug. And one in particular, Annie Travers, is a pretty widow with scars and tragic mysteries of her own. And some of the people in Ferris' Bluff are just plain evil-ruthless and crafty and mean as junk-yard dogs. This item is printed on demand.

A detective for less than a day, Tony de Luca is summoned by his new partner, veteran investigator Ray Bankston to an address in Highland Park in the early morning hours.

With dogged determination Tony and Ray grab a thread.a liquor fuelled escapade on their trip to LA they year before ended badly. The kid rooming with Dee's son might have been out there at the time.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Welcome to Dodge, Iowa. Population: Frustrated. Why? Because it's a digital dead-zone.a lonely analog island in an ocean of corn. Old cars, record players, and some radios work okay-but there are no iPods, no internet, no video games or laptop computers, no cell phones, and some days.not much hope, it seems, for kids who've visited the big city. The government insists an ancient magnetic meteorite is buried beneath the town. That's what fries everything electronic. Uh-huh.right. And, hey.pay no attention to the razor-fenced tower complex way out there in the corn, guarded by gun-toting camo-dudes. What secret compound? What power surges? What Bullthit! Kevin, Tandy, and Deke, just graduated, are desperate to get out of Dodge. Trouble is, they're flat broke and stuck in a bad '60's movie. A mountain of debt looms, as well as a mountain of doubt. Then Deke stumbles across 'The Stratocaster' at a farm auction. It's old.way old.a pristine sunburst '57 Strat. And it's valuable.way valuable. They know immediately it's their ticket out, a head-start on a real life.of having a chance. The Last Analog Summer is a coming-of-age thriller-quirky, funny, tender at times, and full of worrisome twists. Kev, Tandy, and Deke desperately try to hang onto the old guitar. If it isn't the town punk tricking them at the auction, it's his misguided mom giving it to the radio preacher at WWJD, because that's what Jesus would do. And just when they have Reverend Diz on board- Ivy and Remy's antics, which are antagonizing the camo-dudes as they try to finally get some answers about the tower surges, go horribly wrong. Will it take an Act-of-God, intervention by the mysterious Elston Gunn, or maybe.an all-out invasion by the U.S. Army to get the Stratocaster in their hands, once and for all?
